Leaf watchers delight.
We are located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Take a drive up through Taylorsville or Wilkesboro, or driving up to Blowing Rock and Boone. The views are spectacular. In the fall the leaf viewing is great. In the winter we're an hours drive to the ski resorts. In the spring and summer you can enjoy water sports on Lake Norman.
